Making things
In an increasingly complex world, bakers and their customers are looking to make their lives a little simpler. By developing ingredients and recipes that are easy to store, prepare and use, Lesaffre helps bakers to both save time and meet the growing demand for food ‘on the go.’
Digital
Lesaffre has designed a range of smartphone apps to help bakers in a growing number of countries to gain a better understanding of their production costs and to make better product choices. These apps also provide other services, such as helpful tutorials and tasty recipes.
Customized
With the support of Lesaffre, bakers have a range of turnkey solutions for quick and straightforward bread-making. These pre-prepared options require them simply to open a sachet, and then add water, yeast and sometimes flour to start a fail-safe baking process.
Pre-prepared
Among the key trends in today’s baking industry is the demand for products that are both ‘easy-to-use’ and ‘ready-to-use’. Our pre-prepared products, with their simple-to-follow instructions and clearly marked dosages, are specifically designed to meet that demand.
Our solutions
Deactivated yeasts
The machinability of dough is a key quality for bakers, whether they are in the artisan, retail, in-store, wholesale or foodservice segment. Our deactivated yeasts offer a natural solution for dough relaxation, which reduces tearing and shrinkage while molding or sheeting. By saving time and avoiding wastage, Lesaffre makes baking easier.
Easier processes
Anything that simplifies the bread-making process is good news for bakers. Among our solutions for that are liquid yeasts, which offer total control of fermentation, easy mixing, accurate and consistent dosage, and reduced packaging. We also have 2-in-1 offerings that combine instant yeast with a dough conditioner, along with ready-to-use mixes.
Technical support
Lesaffre’s global Baking Center network is available to support customers with technical questions about our products and service. Our expert advice is available either through direct contact with a Baking Center, or from smartphone apps that have been developed in certain countries to provide bakers with day-to-day product and process support.
Food on-the-go
To provide freshly-baked products throughout the course of the day, Lesaffre has developed solutions for making a range of semi-baked breads and pastries, where the dough can be kept safely in a refrigerator. Other solutions allow dough to be stored in a freezer, and then baked from frozen with no loss of quality.
